Other nods to the historic watch include the prominent, triangle-shaped markers positioned at five-minute intervals around the outer curved flange, the bright orange central seconds hand and the inclusion of the ‘Skipper’ name at the base of the 12-hour counter. The new Skipper recreates this colourful livery, with a circular brushed main dial in Carrera signature blue and contrasting sub-dials – the 12-hour counter being ‘Intrepid Teal’ and the 15-minute regatta counter having segments in Intrepid teal, Lagoon Green and Regatta Orange.

The Skipper was once a familiar sight on the wrists of professional and amateur sailors alike, with the very first examples (of which only around 300 were made) being based on the Carrera chronograph. ![]()
